About Nome

Nome is a lively, historic coastal hub where a tight-knit community, rich Alaska Native culture, seasonal events and gold‑rush lore make multi‑week stays feel adventurous rather than isolating—home to the famous Iditarod finish and plenty of community energy. With basic amenities, a regional airport linking to larger hubs, and immediate access to rugged coastlines for hiking, fishing, birding, aurora viewing in winter and very long summer daylight, Nome suits clinicians who want meaningful work plus memorable downtime.
